Ulan-Ude: The head of the Free Buryatia was accused of Fakes because of the interview

The criminal case of "fakes" against the founder of the Free Buryatia Foundation Alexandra Garmazhapova was brought up due to her interview with the Ukrainian project "Groshi". In it, she talked about the refuseniks forcibly held in the "LPR". The conversation of activists with journalists took place in July last year. Then Garmazhapova claimed that 17 military personnel were locked in the commandant’s office in the occupied territory because of their refusal to go to the forefront.

The head of the fund noted that contractors submitted reports on the termination of the contract due to unwillingness to continue to fight, but they refused to consider them. For help, the military also turned to Free Buryatia, since among them were natives of Buryatia and Tyvs. As Garmazhapova said on the air of the Rain TV channel, the investigation considered the “negative information” of its statement about the fear of these military that they would “be sent to the front line without equipment and shot”. In addition, the “fake” also considered a replica about the Buryats, who are allegedly sent to the war "as an insignificant people."

The criminal case against the founder of the Free Buryatia Foundation Alexandra Garmazhapova in Ulan-Ude will consider in absentia. The date of the first meeting has not yet been set, the details of the case are still unknown, but, according to the Mediazon, the materials have already entered the court. In February 2023, Garmazhapov was put on the federal wanted list. The activist herself lives abroad. In the fall of 2022, it was included in the register of "foreign agents".

• On September 1, 2023, the Russian Prosecutor General’s Office recognized the Free Buryatia anti -war fund an undesirable organization in the country. The reason for this is the organization of the Foundation of "Anti -Russian actions". In March, the fund included in the register of "foreign -agents" for, according to the Ministry of Justice, calls to actions that "can lead to a violation of the territorial integrity of" Russia. The organization, according to the Ministry of Justice, distributed the materials of the “foreign Agents” and “Fakes on the activities of the authorities of Russia. Roskomnadzor previously blocked the website of“ Free Buryatia ”.
• "Free Buryatia" criticizes the war of Russia in Ukraine, helps military personnel from Buryatia to defend their rights and return from the war zone. The fund also advocates for the so -called decolonization of Russia, implying a decentralization of power and ensuring the rights of all peoples living in Russia.
